Zebra

A zoo in Northern Iraq recently spent a large amount of money to purchase a zebra. The vet that inspected the animal recently resigned his position after a drenching rain storm. The paint manufacturer can no longer claim that their product has not been tested on animals. We wonder what will happen to the donkey.

The donkey likely neither knows nor cares, though he may have become accustomed to the pampering and lack of work. He'll adjust, I doubt not.

Interesting how, in trying to keep up appearances, or impress someone, we find ourselves played for the fool. And we know those sorts are soon parted with their money. One wonders, however, what may become of the trader who came across with a deal that could hardly be refused. Should he be located again, he will likely fare far worse than the donkey. Any response from PETA, though? Seems they'd be quite animated that an innocent and defenseless animal was mistreated so...PAINT, even!! How DARE they!! Was it tested for toxicity, carcinogenic properties, and the like?
